Gang of Saskatchewan rustlers and the Nelson Jones gang
A story of the Nelson and Jones gang and allied outlaws in the Wood Mountain Bad Lands during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Dutch Henry, Carlyle, Shuefelt, and others roamed the Saskatchewan-Montana border stealing horses and looting ranches while authorities pursued. Shuefelt’s murder trial and eventual conviction helped break the gang, ending the era of rustlers in southern Saskatchewan.
